Zestful Gardens is a 35-acre farm in the Puyallup Valley. Mother and daughter farming team, Holly and Valerie, tend 8 acres in organic vegetables, small fruits & herbs, another 15 in rotating cover crops and pasture, and 8 in orchard & woodland.  We practice organic and biodynamic agriculture with a deep commitment to sustainable farming and a zest for good local food. As a truly "Local" farm, we proudly sell only produce that we grow on our farm!
